Default Console + Shifter= ?!

Hey guys, so I have this 65 mustang that im tryin to restomod, without any serious cutting. I really want a new shifter for my C4. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId=10517
Thats what im thinkin about BUT, My car has a factory console [:@] Has anyone done something similar with a console? Do any of yall know if Id have to cut anything? would it fit in the spot the shifter is in now?
I'd also like to see other shifters you guys like, i've only been using jegs. Thanks!

If you want that setup...just lose the console...the durn thing is almost as big as the whole console is anyway

I mean just use the original shifter and console and don't get that thing. No offense, but I just think it looks a lot worse that the original.
